[105] Regarding the remarkable story that not long before their deaths both Hemáchárya and Kumárapála inclined towards if they did not become converts to Islám (Tod’s Western India, 184) no fresh information has been obtained. Another curious saying of Tod’s (Ditto, 182) also remains doubtful. Kumárapála expelled the tribe of Lár from his kingdom. That this tribe of Lár can have had to do either with Láṭa or South Gujarát or with the caste of Lád Vánis seems unlikely. The alternative is Pársis from Lar on the Persian Gulf whom Tod (Annals of Rajasthán, I. 235) notices as sending an expedition from Laristhán to Gujarát. In this connection it is worthy of note that Lár remained the seat of a Gueber prince till a.d. 1600 the time of Shah Abas (D’Herbelot Bib. Or. II. 477). A repetition of the Pársi riots (Cambay Gazetteer, VI. 215) may have been the cause of their expulsion from Gujarát. [↑]
[106] See the Dvyáśraya. A Patan inscription lying at Verával also calls Ajayapála the brother’s son of Kumárapála. [↑]
[107] It is stated in a grant of Bhíma II. dated S. 1283, that Ajayadeva, as he is there called, made the Sapádalaksha or Sámbhar king tributary. Ind. Ant. VI. 199ff. [↑]
[108] The Udayapura inscription mentions Someśvara as the minister of Ajayapála in Saṃvat 1229 (a.d. 1173). See above page [193]. [↑]
[109] The abuse of Ajayapála is explained if Tod’s statement (Western India, 191) that he became a Musalmán is correct. [↑]
